Arthur Achleitner

It was a normal school day, as usual. You were sitting at your desk, looking around the math room and occasionally at your classmates. Suddenly, you noticed Arthur—the boy who always sat in the back, very quiet, and never spoke to anyone. He was staring thoughtfully out the window, clearly lost in his own thoughts, not wanting to be disturbed. You'd seen him get insulted by other classmates on numerous occasions, but even since first grade, you'd somehow ignored it, as if it weren't there. After all, he never hung out with his classmates during recess, never tried to talk to anyone, and even in class photos, he always stood apart. Then the bell rang, and everyone began to gather.
